The initial training occurred in May 2024 in Saint Lucia, focusing on regional cooperation and the significance of integrated crop management practices.<\/p>\n<p>An intensive four-day format merged theoretical learning with practical experience concerning the integrated management of vegetable crops and cropping systems. Participants were exposed to a variety of advanced technologies and methodologies intended to boost agricultural productivity and sustainability. Key subjects covered included protected agriculture, climate management and its effects on yield, soil and substrate management, water conservation, pest and disease management, plant nutrition, and other vital cultural practices.<\/p>\n<p>The program placed emphasis on practical, cost-efficient technologies designed to maximize crop production year-round, addressing the challenges posed by shifting climatic conditions and variable weather that smallholder farmers in the Caribbean encounter.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_334116\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-334116\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-334116\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Field-Training-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Field-Training-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Field-Training-642x482.jpeg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Field-Training-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Field-Training-640x480.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Field-Training.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-334116\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Field training, photo credit: FAO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Many Small Island Developing States (SIDS) contend with serious agricultural obstacles stemming from climate change, such as erratic water supply, soil degradation, outbreaks of pests and diseases, and increasing agricultural input costs. These challenges heighten food insecurity and jeopardize the livelihoods of small farmers. By enhancing the knowledge and practical skills of extension officers, the training aspires to fortify resilience in the agricultural sector and facilitate a shift towards more sustainable farming techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Norman Alexander, an extension officer and training participant, shared his insights on the program, noting, \u201cAs an extension officer and most importantly as a greenhouse farmer, I found this training extremely important, refreshing and timely. Particularly, topics that stood out for me included climate-smart farming, integrated pest management, best cultivation practices, propagation, etc. As an extension officer and farmer, I intend to implement and pass on the knowledge gained to others in the farming communities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The aim of engagement of the UWI team in conducting this training is to enhance regional collaboration, promote knowledge exchange among Caribbean nations, to foster the development of effective, tailored solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gaius Eudoxie, Deputy Dean Outreach of the Faculty of Food and Agriculture at UWI, expressed pride in the university\u2019s involvement in this initiative, stating, \u201cThe University of the West Indies is proud to collaborate on this initiative, empowering extension officers with innovative solutions and sustainable practices that address the unique<br \/>\nagricultural challenges faced by SIDS countries like Dominica.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This initiative aligns with the overarching goal of enhancing agricultural productivity and fostering food sovereignty in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p>According to the FAO, the successful outcome of this training session highlights the critical need for ongoing investment in agricultural education and innovation within the region. Given the escalating climate challenges, the demand for adaptive and resilient agricultural practices is more pressing than ever, asserts the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Melvin Medina Navarro, the Lead Technical Officer for the project, commented, \u201cThis training is an example of great collaboration between regional partners and has equipped Dominica&#8217;s extension officers with advanced knowledge and practical tools to support farmers in adopting sustainable technologies and practices that boost crop yields, enhance resilience to climate challenges, and strengthen the agricultural sector&#8217;s sustainability.\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In preparation for the busy holiday season, 27 extension officers from various regions of Dominica convened at the One-Mile Agricultural Station in Portsmouth for comprehensive training on Integrated Vegetable Crop Management, organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the&#8230;","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":334117,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[34,235,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-334114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-agriculture","category-homepage-carousel","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
